Legendary Roca brothers coming to UK restaurant market

Spanish culinary legends the Roca brothers are coming to London this summer to open an exclusive pop-up at the iconic Hotel Café Royal.

The brothers, who own Girona’s El Celler de Can Roca restaurant, will be providing local gastronomic excellence for guests when they set up shop for four nights in August.

As well as London, the Roca brothers are taking the restaurant to Hong Kong, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Santiago de Chile as part of a world tour with global bank BBVA.

Joan Roca, the eldest brother and head chef at El Celler (pictured), said: “Wherever we go on the BBVA World Tour, we look to work with venues that are emblematic of their cities – and Hotel Café Royal is a London landmark.”

Guests of the Rocas, Hotel Café Royal and BBVA will enjoy the El Celler experience in the hotel’s famous Domino restaurant.

A spokesperson for the hotel said: “The Roca brothers are renowned for their creativity and we look forward to seeing their take on the UK’s regional dishes in the beautiful surroundings of The Domino restaurant.”
